Duchi Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hello! I found this clip on youtube, it's from the project "Hear n' Aid", it is the rock equivalent of "We are the world". Just all the rock stars in the same place, I don't know how the studio didn't blow up! For all the fellow guitarist, you should also check the other video, where all the guitarists play! So, a couple of months ago there was some discussion going on here, about how much volume do singers use, when they sing in the studio, this clip is the answer! Notice Dio's vocals, I kinda like his raw vocals more than the mixed ones, because some of the voice qualities get somehow drowned in the mix, the same as listening to Chris Cornell sing Jesus Christ Pose acapella - its very intense! Notice Geoff Tate's voice at 7:32, it gets weaker, not supporting enough? But I think he sings pretty loud. At 2:40 Don Dokken sounds very quiet in comparsion with DuBrow or Dio. Or at 6:54 this guys doesn't sound like he is singing louder than his speech volume. Then at 7:14 you can hear how his voice sounds with the effect and a second later without them. So, have a listen : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, have a listen : in most cases high notes are louder than low notes. there's also more air pressure needed for powerful high notes. in fact, if you don't have enough pressure or sing them loud, you simply won't get the note. it's a bone of contention in singing that you can sing high notes very easily. it's just not true.

ronws Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think they had everyone sing the song and then edited what they wanted. So that one person had the tone they were looking for on this or that part, and etcetera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchi Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 The guy from Y&T is pretty good too, i saw some video of him doing a cover of "Rainbow in the Dark", pretty much he nailed it! And the guitarists, guys, you should watch the other part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJDeth Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 They are all great singers, but I think that Dokken sounds a bit funny when compared to Dio and the guys from Y&T and Quiet Riot:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I do appreciate the gracious behavior of Michael Mckeon to hold himself back and let the others have some glory. It takes a big man to do that. His voice goes all the way to eleven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bounce Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Another one of the illusions of singing... What sounds huge doesn't necessarily mean a lot of volume. An intense vocal feels intense in the heart and mind, not in the throat. A quiet note can require a tremendous amount of effort. etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srs7593 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I noticed this before, but Geoff Tate's voice cracks a lot. And he just kind of ignores it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
